Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Administrative personnel at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Mumbai work in academic and administrative secretariats across various schools (School of Social Work, School of Management and Labour Studies, Centre for Education Innovation, etc.) at the Deonar campus. Primary tasks include managing student admissions, course registrations, semester exam coordination, student records on ERP systems, convocation logistics, and faculty committee support. The work environment is academic, fast-paced during admissions and exams, and emphasizes professional English communication and digital spreadsheet proficiency.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Contractual appointment initially for a period of 11 months, extendable based on individual performance and institute operational requirements. Stationed at TISS Mumbai Campus, V.N. Purav Marg, Deonar, Mumbai. Selected candidates must be prepared to join within 15 days of offer issuance.

Career & Promotion Ladder

The position is on contract basis without statutory cadre promotion into regular TISS establishment posts.
